Lullaby

Sleep now
Sleep away black night
Rest now
Rest these fists of fright
Peace now
At least until daylight
Blessed now
All now say good-night
Steal child
Steal this night away
Kill child
Kill the fear to say
Fear child
Fear not the coming day
Street child
Sleep child, leave this day
Sleep child
Dream harsh world away
Rest child
Feel no more dismay
Peace child
And keep the streets at bay
Blessed child
Go now, leave this day
